4: Amendment II

5: Amendment II is the right to keep and bear arms in order to maintain a well regulated militia. In this photo it is saying that objects do not commit the crimes the people do. The objects are just objects until the people take control of it. No matter what the object is, it still does not commit a crime.

6: Amendment III | This still goes by modern day laws by any one person not being aloud in ones home without permission.

7: Amendment III states no quartering of soldiers. In this photo a soldier is trying to get into a citizens home, but he has the right to say no. Any free man has this right.
